People often ask me what Civil War in America might look like
A few quick thoughts from Panama City, Panama
Mind-dump, sans-edit

What do civil wars look like? Some look partly like the constant shootings we already see. There are remarkable differences in criminality, civil unrest, and civil war. One key difference being the degree in which some sufficient number of people see the government as LEGITIMATE.
When a feeling of justice and legitimacy evaporates from a sufficient number of people, conditions are set for insurgency, and civil war.
Ask yourself:
1) Do you trust FBI and associate agencies in big government?
2) Courts?
3) Executive office?
4) Military?
5) Media?
If your trust has collapsed, or worse, you feel under attack, or you feel the government in general has lost legitimacy and no longer represents you, you are a possible insurgent.
Symptoms can be clear. Local law enforcement, FBI, and others who depend on public for information, should ask their intelligence departments if they are getting more or less HUMINT than a year ago. If HUMINT is plummeting, for instance at FBI, that is like a patient’s blood pressure crashing. Bottom line: are people who previously were apt to cooperate starting to run silent?
Street killing such as against the Puerto Rican couple are mostly what it looked like in Iraq and Afghanistan, and many others. We would find heads in the streets. True hate crimes skyrocket, often accompanied by the most hideous tortures — hatred and savagery exploding.
Apparently random acts of violence so numerous they first overwhelm prisons, courts and police, and the military.
Massive amounts of lone wolf, opportunistic, and first and second degree violence that it all blends into a roar. Massive criminality unleashed during the fog. Long power outages. Fire, ambulance and other emergency services not responding.
Many roads shut by police, criminals, or just accidents and neglect. Drive by shootings coast-to-coast. Checkpoints and shakedowns. Checkpoints attacked.
Gas lines. Very long. Even days.
Police quit en masse, sometimes taking their gear. Helicopters and other aircraft in the sky like you never have seen. Some airports shut due to ground fire. Courts and judges attacked. Really attacked. Prison breaks.
People vanish. Others found in rivers. Frequently. Busses attacked. Civil war within the military. Fragging events. Ships and aircraft sabotaged. Tax collectors and meter readers shot. Journalists, media companies, and social media companies attacked. Home mail delivery: Forget it.
Scores and grudges settled and chalked up to war. Matters latent for years suddenly blossom. The most dangerous profession becomes journalism of any sort. Far more dangerous than law enforcement or military.
Drug dealing and organized crime explode.
This little pandemic is nothing by comparison.
After wars reach a certain tipping point, everyone can feel it. Almost an audible snap. And that snap is the moment when a sufficient number of people say “THAT’S IT. NO RULES.”
These are the times when police even in large formation can find themselves in “Blackhawk Down” situations. Totally defensive, fragmented, stations and cars burning, dozens down on a normal night. Police discipline breaks down.
Millions of migrants with zero skin in the game and zero allegiance to United States. We have people with the highest security clearances whose Chinese accents are so thick they can barely be understood.
States move to split into blocs.
Civil wars are like a box of poison chocolates. You never know what you’re gonna get, but every last one is poison.
What does civil war look like? It looks like this with volume turned up high:
